Jamie Murphy on team of the Week at near 42 years of age is absolutely phenomenal stuff, what a servant. WonTon5 (Galway) - Posts: 167 - 04/08/2026 13:24:03 2688634 Link 0 |

Dunno how this would work at club level, the pitch would end up looking like a tech-drawing mock-exam showing all your workings!

i imagine Tuam every year have great hunger and no doubt they have been close but I feel they have lacked the firepower to get over the line in those games against moola cullen particularly where they have lost by a point or 2. It will be between the usual 4 - Moola cullen corofin SK & tuam in that order too

No way can I see Tuam winning it, they will go well, but when the teams with the County men get into the groove Tuam will not have enough. Salthill and Moycullen, Corofin with Egan going well can get to the final but age has caught up now. At the other end Milltown could be in bother this time so dependent on older players, which is ok the first day out, but catches up.

Congratulations to the Galway ladies. Well done. Perhaps it and seeing their Mayo neighbors lifting Sam high, might spur the Galway lads on now towards ultimate victory in 2027. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2629 - 04/08/2026 17:48:21 2688674 Link 0 |

Indeed, over the past 15 or 16 years Mayo always had a real chance of winning before a ball was kicked each year. Apart from one year when McLoughlin scored a late point to keep them up, they have comfortable retained division 1 Status. It is is remarkable really that they replaced several generational players, players who put in All Star preformances in every game, without dropping down. Their odds reflected this too, with other division 1 teams like Roscommon and Monaghan given almost no chance by the bookies. One thing sets Mayo apart from almost any other team, in that they give it their all every time. On what we have see this year and last they are well ahead of Galway with the gap likely to increase before it closes again. Galway, Kerry, Donegal and Armagh are aging teams, especially when it comes to their key players. Senior Club Teams in Galway are dependent on players in their late 30s and even 40s to a greater degree than other counties (Gary Sice for 1). And while Galway v Mayo games are often decided by a point or 2 regardless of current form, I think the chance of us beating ye in a must win game is slim. The loss of Kobe is of course huge, but the up and coming youngsters will now have a real belief that too can taste ultimate glory.
